How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!-Chapter 911 - 710: Young Master, Do Not Let Your Tao Heart Be Disturbed
Capítulo 911: Chapter 710: Young Master, Do Not Let Your Tao Heart Be Disturbed
The steward bowed: “I believe it can be chosen at Zhai Xing Tower.”
“What does the Marquis think?” King Lanning said.
Lin Xiaosu looked towards the tallest building in Lanning City: “The perilous building is hundreds of feet high, one can reach out to pluck the stars, dare not speak loudly, for fear of startling heavenly figures, wonderful indeed!”
King Lanning clapped and laughed: “The Marquis casually recited a poem, it’s absolutely brilliant! I admire it greatly! The Marquis will be responsible for inviting guests, shall we meet at Zhai Xing Tower in three days with this neighbor?”
“Good!”
“Marquis has entered the mansion today, are you interested in a stroll?” said King Lanning.
“The Prince gave me the task of inviting guests, so I cannot indulge in my interests freely, I must take my leave today, and we shall meet at Zhai Xing Tower in three days!”
Lin Xiaosu stood up and bowed.
“Respectfully sending off the Marquis!” King Lanning also stood up to see him off.
Lin Xiaosu left Jingxian Pavilion with the two women.
King Lanning stood at the entrance of Jingxian Pavilion, bowing to see them off.
The early spring wind blew through, filling the garden with the scent of plum blossoms.
His hair gently fluttered.
“Prince! Dare not speak loudly, for fear of startling heavenly figures, what does ‘heavenly figures’ mean?” A thread of voice directly reached King Lanning’s Sea of Consciousness Spirit Platform, it was the steward’s voice.
A thread of voice returned from King Lanning: “What are you thinking?”
“Intimidation!”
“Intimidation?”
The steward said: “He’s reminding everyone to be cautious, there are ‘heavenly figures’ behind him, so it would be best for all parties to behave during this meeting.”
King Lanning’s expression changed dramatically: “Cangyuan Liuye, really… really coming?” 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢
“If Cangyuan Liuye were really coming, he wouldn’t need to remind anyone. His deliberate reminder actually indicates that Cangyuan Liuye is not coming, he’s… guilty!”
King Lanning’s eyes suddenly brightened: “Still, a thorough investigation is necessary, just in case!”
“Yes!”
Outside the Prince Mansion, on the avenue connecting to Lanning City.
Lin Xiaosu leisurely stepped through.
Today, he did not wear the Marquis’s clothes, like an ordinary young gentleman, walking beside the early spring road with two female companions, watching flowers half bloom, and willows half sway.
Qing Ying did not speak; she knew that entering a strange place means one must not speak casually, even transmitting sound may not be completely safe.
Hu Ji also did not speak; she was not a person of many words by nature.
But after entering an inn in Lanning City, her hand lightly raised, and the sunlight outside seemed to change colors slightly.
This was her Yin-Yang Tao Circle.
She had entered the State of “Holding.”
She entered by understanding the Yin Yang Law.
This kind of Holding is a True Vessel.
It’s akin to crushing ordinary Holding states in existence, real combat power comparable to other Second Vessels.
“There’s something about this King Lanning!” Hu Ji was the first to speak.
Lin Xiaosu glanced over: “Cousin, what have you observed?”
Hu Ji said: “He seems to have deep grievances against Qian du Sect, but unintentionally or otherwise, he’s downplaying the sect’s evil.”
Qing Ying nodded: “Cousin’s words are very true, his viewpoint aligns with the mainstream viewpoint of the court, I suspect, the court’s attitude towards Qian du Sect is influenced by him… Marquis, what have you observed?”
Lin Xiaosu said: “Your focus is on this Prince, whereas mine is not on him!”
“Where then?”
“Those diverse followers around the Prince Mansion!” Lin Xiaosu said: “As a Prince, the people around him are too varied.”
Qing Ying said: “I can explain this, Lanning Royal Mansion has Wuyou Spring, which attracts many cultivators, just as the Marquis said, diverse followers, during my days living in the mansion, several Jianghu people came due to severe poisoning, seeking resolution from the Prince, and chose to voluntarily stay after detoxification. Over time, various people gathered in the mansion, so it makes sense.”
“Have you noticed the steward?” Lin Xiaosu asked.
Qing Ying shook her head: “He seems not to be a cultivator…”
“No, you’re wrong, he’s a cultivator! But not a normal Heavenly Tao Cultivator, he practices Subdivine Skill!”
“Subdivine Skill?” Qing Ying’s expression changed drastically.
The serene Hu Ji’s face also slightly changed.
Because they both knew what Subdivine Skill implied.
Subdivine Skill could virtually be equated with Heart Sect’s Heart Pavilion.
And this steward carries significant weight.
Even when just formulating the three-party meeting plan, the Prince needed to ask this steward where to hold it?
“Those with Subdivine Skill are not limited to him alone! There’s another in the backyard, whose cultivation achievements surpass the former Master of Huzhou Heart Pavilion.”
“Backyard?” Qing Ying said: “Did the Marquis see clearly, what she looks like?”
“The first room on the east end, young and beautiful, wearing the concubine’s clothes! When we were discussing in Jingxian Pavilion, she was masquerading as enjoying plum blossoms under that plum tree.”
“King Lanning’s concubine, Yu Fei!” Qing Ying said: “In the backyard, she calls the shots!”
“Now do you understand?” Lin Xiaosu said: “Who stands behind King Lanning?”
“Heart Gate!” Qing Ying took a deep breath.
“In the past, Heart Gate wholeheartedly cultivated the former Crown Prince Hong Ding. King Lanning, situated in Lanzhou, not embroiled in the succession struggle, the moment the former Crown Prince died, King Lanning’s reputation for wisdom quickly spread from Beijing. Through several maneuvers, this Second Prince, far in the north, became the most whispered candidate for the Eastern Palace, Qing Ying, what have you seen?”
Qing Ying slowly said: “Heart Gate has a backup plan for the Eastern Palace.”
Lin Xiaosu said: “Exactly! If the former Crown Prince had not died, King Lanning would have been merely a distant supporter of the former Crown Prince. But once the former Crown Prince died, the backup plan came into play, and they started to fully support this Prince in vying for the Eastern Palace. This fits Heart Gate’s meticulous approach.”
Hu Ji’s pretty eyebrows slowly furrowed: “After listening to you, I somewhat understand, from the beginning, did we all get the direction wrong? Thinking this Prince was Wan du sect’s puppet? He’s not, he’s Heart Gate’s puppet?”
